Champion Tankers

About Us

Champion Tankers is acting as the commercial ship operating company representing the various ship owning companies in our group as well as for third party owners. Champion Tankers was established more than two decades ago by Karl L Kvalheim and Arne Viste, both experienced and successful shipbrokers within the Clean Petroleum Products and Chemical Chartering business. From the start, and with a steadily expanding fleet, we have focused on shipping Vegoils, Liquid Fertilizers, Easy Chemicals and Molasses, as well as Clean Petroleum Products (CPP). Our focus and strength have always been on the commercial operation of “Medium Range” Tankers with IMO type 2/3 Classification. Our company commercially operates between 25 to 30 MR vessels around the world, consisting of a combination of owned, chartered in and commercially managed tonnage. Champion Tankers also offers commercial management for other close owners with the same goals and standards.
